  Finally recieved the latest version of TDI's Modula-2, version
3.00a.  After recompiling all of my .def's and .mod's, I tried to
compile the main code (56k of text).  It compiles ok, with no
errors, until it tries to write out the .lnk file.  At that time I
am visited by a guru, by the name of Software Failure, message
number 3.200DF2.  Same address, every time.  

  So, I tried raising the stack, having nothing in ram at all except
for the main source module, etc, still tacos out.

  Configuration is 1 meg Ram (Alegra), 2 drives.

  Maybe a hardware (ram) problem? No, tried compiling on another
amiga config'd identical. Same error.

  Called TDI.  They claim it is the fault of a bad symbol file
somewhere, caused by their "bad disk dup company" they are using.
Today tried a brand new copy from a local dealer, (not a mailed
upgrade).  Exactly the same error.

  I sure hope that the error is just due to bad dup'ing, 'cause if
not, well, that will be a major "bummer", seeing as to how long it
takes to get anything out of TDI.

  Anyone else out there received the 3.00a upgrade? Experienced any
problems? (Other than the new "editor" that blows up).
Any insight, clues, prayers, gratefully accepted. I'll try anything.
Anything but wait.

Will I ever get my game finished?  We laughed in unison...
